AkelPad

I was searching for text editors for programing.
I have seen several good actually, like Notepad++, wxMEdit, CudaText and AkelPad.

* I wonder if AkelPad have a function to duplicate a line. normally is Ctrl+D, In this inserts date heh.
Sorry but i don't understand how use the Hotkeys plugin to change it

* AkelPad have a "Search on files" option?
I use this from time to time.

* I think the way on multiples windows is showed can be better, the MDI mode + use the Mosaic vertical/horizonal is ok, but as I said, I think it could be better. Maybe a automatic sort mode, or the drag and drog window mode like on wxMEdit, or something. Checks the images

Ordering three windows on AkelPad


Ordering three windows on wxMEdit


Also on AkelPad is showed the tab bar and the title bar on each one, imho I think that the way that wxMEdit does is better.

* As I can establish a color theme for all files, including new blank, txt?
I like the dark color themes like Monokai and SpaceCadet.

Heh and I think that this is all, at least for now
Regards.

To duplicate line you can use script: LinesSelectCopyMoveDuplicate.js.

Setting in Hotkeys plugin:
Name: Duplicate line
Command: Call("Scripts::Main", 1, "LinesSelectCopyMoveDuplicate.js", "D 1")
Hotkey: Ctrl+D

* AkelPad have a "Search on files" option?

Script: FindReplaceFiles.js.

Basic settings: Main menu -> View -> Colors.
Advanced settings: Coder plugin.

You can use tileTabs.js to order MDI windows.

Hi KDJ.

To duplicate line you can use script: LinesSelectCopyMoveDuplicate.js.

Setting in Hotkeys plugin:
Name: Duplicate line
Command: Call("Scripts::Main", 1, "LinesSelectCopyMoveDuplicate.js", "D 1")
Hotkey: Ctrl+D

Good, done.

Script: FindReplaceFiles.js.

Just what I needed.

Basic settings: Main menu -> View -> Colors.
Advanced settings: Coder plugin.

Heh i see, now both (source, simple) texts files have color scheme.

Hi Infocatcher

You can use tileTabs.js to order MDI windows.

I do not understand the benefit/usefulness of tileTabs.js, the the MDI mode + use the Mosaic vertical/horizonal makes it.

I guess I should highlight this maybe as a Feature Request:
The option View > Divide Window is more closer with what I mean.
Unfortunately, This is only for a file/tab at the same time.
But that is more or less the way in which I think should handle view of multiple files at the same time

And i have a couple more curiosities.

* There are some "Document Map" like on Notepad++ for AkelPad?

* Something to set build options with compilers, interpreters, etc.?
Such as ConTEXT (Execute Keys option) or Programmer's Notepad (Tools option)




* How i can replace the Notepad with AkelPad? ie even if it is called from Run (Win+R) > Notepad.

Thank you very much for your replies guys!

You can use different execute parameters via ContextMenu, Hotkeys, Toolbar plugins.
